Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Come, Holy Ghost, creator, come, from Thy bright heavenly throne,
Come, take possession of our souls, and make them all Thy own.
VERSE 2
Thou who art called the Paraclete, best gift of God above,
The living spring, the living fire, sweet unction and true Love.
VERSE 3
Thou who art sev'n fold in Thy grace, finger of God's right hand,
His promise, teaching little ones, to speak and understand.
VERSE 4
O guide our minds with thy blest light, with love our hearts inflame;
And with Thy strength, which ne'er decays, confirm our mortal flame.
VERSE 5
Far from us drive our deadly foe; true peace unto us bring;
And through all perils lead us safe, beneath Thy sacred wing.
VERSE 6
Through Thee may we the Father know, through Thee th'Eternal Son,
And Thee the Spirit of them both, Thriceblessed Three in One.
VERSE 7
All glory to the Father be, with His coequal Son,
The same to Thee great Paraclete, while endless ages run.
